CO2 as a C1-organic building block: Enantioselective electrocarboxylation of aromatic ketones with CO2catalyzed by cinchona alkaloids under mild conditions

- Cinchona alkaloids catalysis achieve enantioselective electrocarboxylation of racemic aromatic ketones.
- The applications of CO2 enantioselective electrochemical fixation into optically active hydroxyl carboxylic acids have been expanded.
- The applications of alkaloids have been expanded.
- The applications of asymmetric synthesis by electrochemical methodology have been expanded.
